Question

Is cooking an egg a chemical change?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• A chemical change is a change in which the chemical properties of a substance change and a new substance is formed.
• A chemical change is irreversible in nature.
• It is a chemical transition when we fry an egg because of the liquid component of the egg changes from liquid to solid.
• The proteins present in the egg white/yolk are heated at high temperatures, and they convert to other proteins, so cooking the egg is a chemical change.
• Also, we cannot get back the raw egg from the cooked egg.

Hence, the given statement is true. Cooking the egg is an example of a chemical change.
